    On the beer front, a discovery of mine. Full Sail is now running their Equinox ESB in kegs. I assume this came from the pilot brewery at RiverPlace, which means 10 barrels max (310 gallons).




    For those of you who haven't tasted it, Equinox rocks. It was my fave FS beer, and I was depressed when they discontinued it. As I recall, it was the first John Harris beer he brewed at FS. Deliciously hoppy (NW hops), a nice light candy sweetness to bouy the bitterness underneath (though you probably have to let the beer warm a bit for that). It's at County Cork, for sure. Elsewhere...?

    I'll have to give that one a shot. I do recall seeing the sixpacks out there, and the County Cork is right around the corner from me (sorta...). Full Sail makes some fantastic brews. btw, I'll fill in a few links on this article shortly.

    Johns Market is the name of the store. I work a block from it. Get to walk over and shop all the time.

    ah...thank you! I was going to include that info after my next journey. Talking to the fellow at the counter, he mentioned that the owner looks to be expanding the beer area too, so expect a lifetime of beertastings. Also, had hoped to get at that Equinox last evening, but it was my buddy's bday, and ended up drinking pbr at My Father's Place...maybe tomorrow.

    We went out drinkin last night--tried to drown our despair in a pint (or four) of Lucky Lab. Sighting: Fred Eckhardt. Had the Super Dog, which is a dry-hop special. Tasty.




    Of course, nothing's washing the taste of this war out of my mouth.
